Directed History: A Fact of Life?

The news from the EU front becomes ever more bizarre. Last Wednesday, just before Angela Merkel flew to London to tell David Cameron
how desperately she wants Britain to stay in the EU, she told the
European Parliament: "Of course the European Commission will one day
become a government, the European Council
a second chamber and the European Parliament will have more powers –
but for now we have to focus on the euro and give people a little more
time to come along." In other words, the EU is still on track to become
precisely that "government of Europe" that Jacques Delors was boasting
about in 1989 (to which Mrs Thatcher famously responded "No, no, no"). –

Dominant Social Theme: The universe grinds on. Things emerge without rhyme or reason. Life continues.

Free-Market Analysis: Here in this UK Telegraph news roundup we have several nuggets of incredibly important information.The first, above, speaks to the issue of what the EU is intended to
become. Angela Merkel suddenly explains what must be clear to anyone who
has had the stomach to follow EU politics: It was created to become an
empire."Of course the European Commission will one day become a government,
the European Council a second chamber and the European Parliament will
have more powers – but for now we have to focus on the euro and give
people a little more time to come along."

What is amazing about Merkel's comments is the precision with which
she makes them. It is obvious that the EU political system was laid out
with empire in mind decades ago.We've written about this a number of times but it is worth
re-emphasizing in light of the curious precision of Merkel's comments. Here's what we reported only a few days ago:

The EU's 'beneficial crisis' has spun out of control ... 'Europe'
expected to be united through emergencies, but this one will tear it
apart ... As long ago as 1957, Jean Monnet – who was the real organising
genius behind the gradual building of "Europe" into a single, unified
state – suggested that it was only through monetary and economic union
that the "political union which is the goal" could be achieved. "There
are no premature ideas," he wrote, "only opportunities for which we must
learn to wait."

By 1970, Monnet's ideas were being fleshed out by the Werner
report, which saw monetary union as the key step towards political
union. But in 1978, another report for the European Commission, by Sir
Donald McDougall, warned that it would be reckless to create a single
currency unless Europe was first given an all-powerful government, with
the power to tax, and to make a massive transfer of resources from the
richer states to the poorer.

In the 1980s, though, that other great integrator Jacques Delors
(second only to Monnet in his influence on the drive to European
political union) decided to ignore the advice of McDougall and others
and to launch the single currency without the suggested preconditions.
To move straight to fiscal union, he knew, was not on the cards. But if
the single currency was put in place first, it would create exactly the
kind of strains which had been foreseen – making fiscal union the only
way out.

At the time, we called the EU exercise, especially the euro, "an
exercise in cynicism." The idea was to implement a currency union, we
explained, "which would then collapse and usher in a full-fledged
political union. First an economic calamity and then a political
salvation ... Hundreds of millions traded in their national currency for
euros that were designed to fail. They were SUPPOSED to fail."

We've made additional points regarding this issue, and we will repeat
them because they offer a pattern that we believe is indisputable and
confirms our analysis of directed history. Based on the above, we
reaffirm our previous points regarding the manufactured nature of this
"sovereign" crisis that no doubt EU backbenchers refer to quietly as an
"opportunity."

Why, in fact, was the emergent opportunity a sovereign crisis?
Because that was easiest to control. It is the Way the World Works. The World Bank lends billions to corrupt governments and then the IMF follows along with its "austerity" – higher taxes, lower services and benefits and privatization.This is how the developing world experienced the twin cannons of
Western control. The only slightly unusual part is that the World
Bank/IMF strategy is now being applied to a first-world continent,
Europe.

But should we be surprised? No. The strategies of authoritarianism are refined in the developing world – where no one is supposed to notice – before
being rolled out in the West. Again, for the record, we repeat ... and
repeat: Western bankers are not idiots. Not ONE of those banking
officials who made the decisions (certainly not at the top) expected
immediate repayment.

In this world, the largest multinational banks are instruments of Money Power. They lent because they were told to lend. They lent as policy instruments of a power elite that EXPECTED multiple defaults and desired the current crisis as a way to generate a greater political union.

Read how Merkel puts it, how clearly she explains it. She seems to
believe she has nothing to hide now. She is telling her people and the
opposition that this was all planned long ago. It will proceed with a
merciless advance, like an occupying army. This is surely the reason for
her candor.

The billions lent in Portugal, Spain, Greece, etc. were ill-disguised
bribes. Those who took the funds and then disbursed them work at the
top levels of government. In Greece, for instance, a trial is taking
place that pits a reporter against the Greek establishment. His crime:
Revealing that many Greek politicians have secret Swiss bank
accounts. See here: "Reporter Exposes Tax Evasion Among Greek Politicians, Targeted for Arrest."

Of course they do. When a national politician in Europe is tempted to
tell the Eurocrats to go to Hell, he is apt to be visited by some good,
gray men who tell him clearly that he can either open a Swiss account
to receive a bribe – hush money – or face obloquy and embarrassment in
the mainstream press.

Almost always they take the money. Apparently there is hardly an
uncompromised politician in all of Europe. Which is why the Euro project
grinds on even though its citizens by now don't agree with it and want
it to end. Here's some more from the article:

In the meantime Mrs Merkel and her eurozone colleagues are
hell-bent on getting the new treaty they imagine is necessary to save
their doomed euro, and from which Britain will be excluded. So she wants
Britain to remain part of an EU from whose inner ring we will be
excluded, but she hopes that this will give us "a little more time" to
come to our senses and join the euro – thus signing up to the full
package, including the idea that the unelected Commission should be our
supreme government.

Does Mr Cameron really have any idea of what a far-reaching game
he is caught up in? Another story last week – with the headline "We need
wind farms to power electric cars, says Cameron" – may make us wonder.
On the face of it, nothing could seem dottier than putting these two
huge blunders together: the fanciful belief that we can somehow provide a
third of our electricity from unreliable windmills; and the quixotic
enthusiasm for electric cars which, despite hefty subsidies, remain so
unpopular that their UK sales have fallen this year to just 749.

Mr Cameron's faith in these vehicles is just as absurd as his
plan, confirmed again last week by an energy minister, Baroness Verma,
that every home and business in Britain must be fitted with "smart meters" within seven years, at a cost of £11 billion.

What few have yet realised is that all these schemes are part of a
grand EU design for our future which even now is being tested on the
Danish island of Bornholm in the Baltic (check out EcoGrid and Bornholm
on the internet).The point about smart meters is that they do not only enable us
consumers to keep tabs on our electricity use: they also (though our
Government does not like to spell this out) enable suppliers to exercise
remote control over how much electricity we use. The EU knows that the
windmills it wants to see covering Europe are unpredictably
intermittent, and cannot guarantee sufficient power when it is needed.

The answer the EU's technocrats
dream of, as we see from the Bornholm pilot project for a "European
supergrid", is that they can use smart meters to micro-manage the power
we receive, right down to their ability to switch off whole categories
of electricity use in our homes when there is insufficient power in the
grid (what they call " 'intelligent' control of household appliances" ,
such as dishwashers or televisions).

But the windmills can also produce too much electricity when
there is no demand – which is where electric cars come in. The idea of
the EU grand designers is that we shall all be charging up our car
batteries at night, to soak up the surplus power generated by windmills
at times when demand is low – to keep the grid stable without needing to
balance it from "carbon" emitting gas and coal-fired power stations.

All this is so fiendishly ingenious that one suspects Mr Cameron
has been talked into promoting it without any real idea of what he has
got caught up in. But equally this applies to his wish for Britain to
remain part of an EU that is following Mrs Merkel's dream of a single
all-powerful government, over which we would have even less influence
than we do now.

Again, we take exception. Cameron knows EXACTLY what is going on,
just as Merkel does. These people are servants of Money Power. They work
for a banking elite that intends to create global governance and has penetrated the topmost level of society around the world to do so.

Education, politics, military facilities, think tanks, mainstream
media – every aspect of modern civilization has been taken over and bent
toward this singular goal. The mechanism is directed history. The
funding source is monopoly central banking. The strategy employed is mercantilism.

When it comes to what's being revealed here, we want to make sure our
readers (and gratifyingly there are hundreds of thousands now)
understand that there is nothing mystifying about our paradigm. You can
analyze elite actions, too.
